Epoxy coatings provide excellent physical barrier to the steel reinforcing bars that are embedded in reinforced concrete and prevent chloride ions from reaching the bar surface under corrosive environment. Such protection primarily depends on the integrity of the coatings, which can often be damaged during construction. Repair of epoxy coatings can be time consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is important to determine a critical amount of damage that can be tolerated without compromising the capacity of the coatings to provide corrosion protection.
